I am reviewing the general look and feel of the book here. This is truly a "want to have on the shelf and show everyone" edition. I got this book at the Forbidden Planet in London for very little money. The typography is also great, it's really rare to see something like this. Now we come to the big problem. It should be clear to everyone that Lovecraft was a racist and white supremacist. But the fact that this collection really doesn't address this at all and only speaks highly of the author is really unpleasant. Nevertheless, racist texts are simply printed here and not put into context. At least this book makes me want to look further into the critical examination of Lovecraft.
